Mrs. McNeill's House at Rice's
Burned.

Burned.
From the Sank Rapids Sentinel
A house and all it's contents, belong
ing to Mrs. William Mcneil. near Rices
station was consumed by fire On the
night of the 25th inst. Mrs. McNeilPs
nephew, who resides with her, was
away that evening to donation party,
and Mrs. Mcneil went out to the barn
to see that all was safe and in order,
before retiring. On her return to the
house she discoveaed that the house
was filed with smoke. On opening
the door leading up stairs volume Of
smoke poured down and drove her
back. She closed the door and secured
a few valuable papers, which she had
previously looking over, and then ran
out and gave the alarm, but there was
no one at hand or near to aid her as all
the neighbors had gone to the donation.
The house was a we'll arranged, sub
stantial, large farm house, built of pine
lumber and was, with its contents,
quic ky destroy ed. Mrs. Mcneil went
to a neighboring house mile or SO
away and remained there until the
owners returned from the party. 1t is
hard to say just how the fire broke out,
but it is supposed to have caught from
the chimney up stairs. Mrs. Mcneil is
quite well-to-do and so far as the loss of
the house is concerned. it is nothing in
co nparison to mortgages, notes and
other securities which were in the
upper story and consumed. It is, hoped
that she will be able to have data sufa.
Gent to secure payment for all the lost
papers. The house was insured fol
ST. 200 and the furniture for $500, max
ing in all 81 300. Mrs. Mcneil will re.
build at once.

John Hounson Gets Drunk and
Lies Down on the Railroad J"
Track Near Swanville.
He Went 70 Sleep and the
81 Freight Train Ran Over Him. 4

On Saturday last as the Little Falls 4
Dakota freight train was coming from
the west and was within two miles Of
lSwanville the engineer noticed q man
Lying on the track . few rods ahead Of
1.-THE B engine. The train was coming
around q curve, on a down grade, and
the speed was about Is miles an hour.
An effort was made to stop the train,
alarms were sounded, but tile man did
not move, The engine struck him. cut
ting him entirely in two. The man
was John Hounson. and he had been at
work at Swanville for a few days, but
had been discharged for drunkenness.
He started on Saturday forenoon for
Hanson while intoxicated and being
overcome by the liquor laid down be-
tween the rails and went to sleep. He
did not move or awaken before the
train struck him. AS the train came
from the west around a curve it was i'm
possible for the men on the train to see
the man until they were SO near him
that the train could not be stopped. He
told parties in Swanville that he had
two children living in Michigan, and his
wife was dead. He also claimed to have
brother living near Milbank, Dakota.
He was about 40 years of age, and was
an American or Irishman. An inquest
was held at Swanville on Saturday
evening, The following verdict was
found:
STATE OF MINNESOTA, |
COUNTY OF MORRISON.
An inquisition taken at S@anville, in
the County of Morrison, before G.. NJ. A.
Fortier, Coroner of said County, on the
10Th day of October, 1887, upon view Of
the body of John Hounson, lying the re
dead, by the oaths of the jurors whose
! names are hereunto subscribed, who be-
ing sworn to inquire on behalf of the
State of Minnesota, when, how, and by
what means the said John Hounson
came to his death, upon their oaths do
say: That the man named John Houn-
son came to his death by being run over
by freight train No. 80, at a point about
two miles west of Swanville depot, on
the L. r. 4 D. track, upon which track
IS, C1lS oaiN JUN 11OuuSOll, was lyluS
down, according to our belief, under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor. We
further are of opinion, that the men in
! charge of said train at time of accident,
cannot be held responsible for the
mans death.
In testimony whereof the said Coron-
er and jurors Of this inquest, have here
| unto set their hands the day and year
aforesaid.
J. j. McRAE, JOHN SToLL,
P. OBRIEN, MELVILLE DODGE,
GEORGE McIyEN, JOHN HEALEY.
G. NJ. A. FoRTIER, Coroner.
AS will be seen, the train men are
held entirely blameless. R. G.
McLagan was the engineer, and says
the engine was within less than ten
rods of the man before he could see him.
Every possible means was used to stop
the train. but with the twenty loaded
cars it was impossible to do so.
